Avast not running because the "configuration is incorrect."
« on: February 24, 2016, 03:54:50 AM »
avast! Antivirus
Version 11.1.2245.1540

Today when I tried to scan a file using Avast I received the following message:

"C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastUI.exe

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Windows Event Viewer shows errors similar to the following going back to 1/31/2016 (the oldest entry):

2/23/2016 6:23:52 PM
Syntax error in manifest or policy file "C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\Manifests\x86_Avast.VC110.CRT_2036b14a11e83e4a_11.0.60610.1_x-ww_e6822ee2.Manifest" on line 0.

Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastUI.exe. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.
.
Generate Activation Context failed for C:\PROGRA~1\AVASTS~1\Avast\1033\Base.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.

---------------
Does this mean that I've been without antivirus protection since January 31? If the configuration for Avast becomes corrupted shouldn't I have received a notification or warning message stating that I am no longer protected?

Well, my pc is protected now but it takes ten minutes to boot up. Seems that every good antivirus program eventually turns into memory hogging, bloatware.
